Police have filed a statement of intent to indict the manager and two assistants of the Luchik daycare in Ariel on charges of abusing over ten toddlers. One assistant is accused of 129 violent incidents. The court extended their detention until Sunday, November 8th. The daycare operated out of a rented apartment in Ariel, equipped with five security cameras that recorded the alleged abuse. The toddlers at the center ranged in age from ten months to one year and three months. Investigators from Ariel station are reviewing the camera footage to build their case against the manager and assistants. One assistant, Darina Khalfa, is also being investigated for working without a permit. The charges include conspiracy to commit a crime, assault of a helpless person by a caregiver, and other related offenses. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are examining evidence of abuse beyond the period expected to be covered by the indictment, suggesting the full scope of the alleged abuse may be larger than currently documented.
